New US-Made 6-String Bass from Spector
July 24, 2001
The NS-JH6 is the latest addition to the US Bolt-On series of basses,
handmade in Saugerties, NY.
"We're proud of this addition to the line," says company founder Stuart
Spector, "We had the US Neck-Through 6 string for the high end player, then
last year we added the Professional Series 6 String, which allowed us to
offer a quality 6 String bass for under $800, so we wanted to add another
option for the bassist that is looking for a wide range instrument."
This new bass features a 35" scale, dual active EMG pick-ups, and is a
direct descendant of the original NS-2J bass released by Spector back in
1983. The 24 fret neck is attached to the body with a deep inset pocket and
5 neck bolts. The neck is fashioned of 3 ply Maple and has graphite
stiffening rods and a heavy duty truss rod. The bass is available with a
swamp ash or figured maple body in a variety of oil finishes including:
Natural Oil; Natural Black Stain; Peacock Blue Stain; Violet Stain; Royal
Blue Stain; and Golden Stain. Pricing starts at $2295 retail. For more information, visit their web site at www.spectorbass.com. |
